The Ministry of Fisheries denounced the expansionist settlement activities of the UAE occupation state and its mercenaries, and the creation of military bases on the strategic island of Mayon.

In a statement, the ministry condemned Abu Dhabi’s efforts to create buildings and military bases for the occupying UAE forces, and to separate Mayun Island, which mediates Bab al-Mandab Strait of Taiz Governorate, and annex it to the southern governorates under Emirati occupation.

The ministry stressed that this step represents a flagrant violation of Yemeni sovereignty, and comes within the framework of the aggression forces’ moves to control the vital Bab al-Mandab Strait in service of the Zionist enemy.

The statement pointed to the continuous violations committed by the UAE against the fishermen of Mayon Island and other fishermen in the occupied areas, displacing them and looting their property with the aim of establishing military bases to serve the Zionist-American plans in the region.
